Abstract

An enclosed storage tank for simultaneous addition and removal, and storage, of two liquid layers of different density comprising a tank shell having a bottom, side wall and a roof and a column extending from the shell bottom to at least near the roof; a horizontal first liquid distributor spaced around and extending outwardly of the column and located in the upper part of the tank and having an upwardly facing liquid distribution surface; a low density liquid conduit extending from outside the shell into communication with the column whereby low density liquid can be fed to the column and then flow to the first liquid distributor and onto the upper liquid distribution surface; a horizontal second liquid distributor spaced around and extend-ing outwardly of the column above which the column extends and spaced above the shell bottom; the sec-ond liquid distributor having a downwardly facing liquid distribution surface; a high density liquid conduit extending from outside the shell into commu-nication with the column whereby high density liquid can be fed to the column and then flow to the second liquid distributor and beneath the lower liquid distribution surface and the high density liquid can be withdrawn from the tank through the high density liquid conduit while low density liquid is fed to the tank through the low density liquid conduit; the first liquid distributor including a plurality of side-by-side panels positioned so that they present a substantially horizontal, planar, flat, and smooth upper liquid distribution surface; and the second liquid distributor including a plurality of side-by-side panels positioned so that they present a sub-stantially horizontal, planar, flat, and smooth lower liquid distribution surface.
